Hello everyone,

As I was working on a chart I found one obstacle: the colour palette. In our application we have several operations a production employee can perform. And our end users can create more of those operations. Each operation has a unique colour. Now that is what I want to see in the chart, but that seems to be impossible at the moment. 

Now a chart has a pre defined colour palette, but I would like to see it user defined. As in: in the application therre is an option to make operations, each with a user defined colour, I'd like to use those colours as my colour palette, so I can make each column of each planned item the colour of the given operation.

So when I have three operations, and 5 items in the chart, then I would want to see three colours, now there are 5 unique colours that don't correspond the operatoins of the planned items I made:

So for instance, the operation colours were red, yellow and green, I want to only see those three. but if there are 5 operation, I would want to see those 5 colours on there, each planned item its own corresponding colour.

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

@Arie V it does seem to match what I intend here, custom colours for specific columns based on certain parameters (in our case a column with a custom colour based on an operation with a certain colour). So I think merging it is the right idea.

@SanderAdam I would like to adress one assumption in your story that will not be possible. 

So when I have three operations, and 5 items in the chart, then I would want to see three colours.

If there are only 3 operations and you have 5 items in the chart then you are counting the wrong things. Even when we make it possible for you to color your three operations, these colors would only apply when the 3 operations are defined as the last serie.

@Sebastiaan Meijerink with that sentence I meant that the item tied to the operation has the colour of the operation. So when there are five (for the sake of better wording) work orders on the chart, and our end users has defined three operations, with the colour blue, green and purple, than it will have for instance two purple work orders, one green work order and one blue work order.

Maybe I understand it incorrectly now, or have chosen a less good set of words.

I do look forward to this new functionality and I look forward to implementing it for our end users. It will be very useful for us to distinguish the data on the chart.
